Just over 10000 miles, about 3100 posts. But I joined the board almost 6 months before I got my ride, and had over 1000 posts by the time I got it. Also, I can't ride here in the winter, so form November 2005 til March 2006, she was in storage.

Cheers!

Ha! Ha!...

I haven't put mile ONE on my Wide Glide, but I must have put several thousand on the four wheeler between home and Pompano and Dania to get parts!!!

Bike is a salvage/rebuildable and George from Delray Cycle JUST called to tell me they have the last four parts that I need...(I THINK they're the last four I'm going to need![:@]) to get the thing on the road!!!

YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Look out twisties... HERE I COME!!!

Jim aka kiltiemon (Oh Darn!!! We don't HAVE twisties in South Florida!!!)

I have over 6000 miles on my bike in a year and 285 posts since 9-2005. Ride much more than I post and that's not riding the bike in the winter.

Joined in Feb but didn't get bike til April (didn't post much til April either)...

1200 miles vs. 1470 posts -- in my defense my bike was locked in the garage for a month during that time.
